Six in the second place

Feminine energy takes charge of social obligations
and the important task of providing nourishment for the family.
This is not the time to lead the group but to keep within the specified mores of the clan.

Six in the second place changes hexagram 9.
Paintings and Prescriptions, hexagram 9.

    Just thought you would be familiar with the Brown Rooms in Amsterdam – After all – You like Van Gough – They got nicotine stained panelling – full of old men with pipes probably – a bright young Maitre D – pulling the pints and chatting – You may have been confused with – dark rooms – another feature of Amsterdam – Personally I haven\’t actually been in either ! –

    Yes – Another mild synchronicity – Re #36 (one for Trish !)

    Just consulted the Ching about having a few beers tonight – Quite important as it breaks my becoming alcohol free – Dry January and all that – And some chilli con carni ingredients for dinner – I got Tai # 11 changing to Ming Yi # 36 – So – from a – visual perspective – The 2 hexagrams side by side may have offered a deeper intuitive – visual – consulting experience – ( as it turned out of course – they were sold out of tomato puree – hummus dip – and my bank card overdrew – so had to run up even more debt on my credit card – darkening of the light – overall – not too bad

    Yeah but – You did convey a homely space – in the surreal way you do – You must have heard of the Brown Rooms in Amsterdam – More of a sitting room than a bar – and it\’s always about spiritual nourishment – My little poem was very patriarchal – Would be great to receive one of your artworks – as a reply to a consultation – and with moving lines – the two hexagrams put together – That would be very Wow !!!

    • No, I had not heard of the brown rooms.
      I don’t understand what you mean about receiving two hexagrams together.Can you explain more?

        My reply – 36 on the CAPCHA box – another one for Trish !

        You know the Book of the Moon – Amazing interactive I Ching from
        Li Se – So have a chat with her – and maybe design – A visual I Ching – With the first hexagram – and then the resultant hexagram – side by side – if there are charging line / s – A Brilliant concept – no ?

        • That would mean thousands of illustrations. I’m already creating at least 456.

            I know this – I\’m sure you are aware of – that book that actually does this – can\’t remember the name – a verse for all possible permutations of changing lines – Yes – Side by side – One would slide into the other – So there would be an overall meaning – created in the imagination – Bit like bi-aural beats perhaps – A hallucinated sound created by 2 frequencies – one in each ear – A visual version of this would be astonishing !

            (( :

          • Yes,it would be astonishing!

    A homely scene – Something of the Brown Rooms of Amsterdam – A fantastic range – of visual feeling – for each hexagram – Spiritual nourishment – Inspired – Although my doggerel – hardly befitting –

    Provisions on the table
    Shopping trip done from
    I Ching Supermarket

    Husband arriving
    Home from work – and
    Hungry Daughter

    Now time to
    Roll up her sleeves
    And cook the dinner

    • I am finding this hexagram more difficult to illustrate compared to the more difficult to receive hexagrams – like I do not like getting #36 but didn’t have trouble finding a way to illustrate – at least from my point of view
